Watermelon Smash is Newest Addition to Shot Family from Captain Morgan

The rum company, Captain Morgan, is introducing the newest addition to its shot family with Captain Morgan Watermelon Smash.

The explosively delicious, watermelon-flavored shot is arriving just in time for backyard cookouts and pool parties. For this drink, Captain Morgan blends Caribbean rum with ripe, juicy watermelon flavor that’s synonymous with summertime. Best enjoyed as a chilled shot, Watermelon Smash can also be served in a number of delicious cocktail recipes (see below).

Not only does this drink taste like a watermelon, it looks (and smells!) like one too. Similar to LocoNut, the Watermelon Smash packaging resembles a watermelon and produces the sweet aroma of ripe watermelon when you scratch the bottle. This smash (50 proof, 25% ABV) has a suggested retail price of $15.99 for a 750 ml bottle.
